Back in May, Mark Cuban and Jerry Jones started scheming to bring the festivities to the Cowboys’ new stadium. Looks like, whatdya know?, the game will be played in Jonestown Coliseum in February ’10.

The cool part is that the ancillary events – Slam Dunk and 3-point Shooting contests – will be held at American Airlines Center. Good on Cuban for negotiating that piece of the prize for his home base. For years the Mavs' owner resisted temptation to hosting the event, figuring the NBA’s slew of corporate honchos and sponsors would squeeze season-ticket holders out of seats at AAC. But in Arlington, where up to 50,000 can watch hoops, the problem is diminished, if not eliminated.
